| Murray's Mild Yellow Cheddar is a semi-hard, pasteurized cow’s milk cheese produced in Wisconsin, exemplifying the "Wisconsin style" young cheddar aged less than two months. It has ~43% moisture, a smooth, fudgy texture, and mild, buttery, nutty flavors with low acidity. The cheese uses microbial or enzymatic rennet and is produced as vacuum-packed blocks without rind. The yellow color comes from added Annatto. It pairs well with mild wines, beers, fruits, nuts, and is ideal for melting in dishes like grilled cheese. Murray’s sources this cheese leveraging Wisconsin’s dairy reputation under US FDA regulations. | |
